Chapter Two: Poisoned Food and Cat Armies

The next day we all got up and headed downstairs. Iggy and Gazzy had decided to sleep on the couches downstairs so they were already in the kitchen when we got there. Eggs, bacon (made out of cow,there is no pork in Kuwait) , waffles, and syrup sat on the table.

"Who cooked all of this,un?" Deidara asked. All the ninjas turned to me.

"Have you ever tried my cooking? I had tried to make pancakes when the Flock was here and I ended up making lemon cake instead by accident!" I shouted.

"Tobi wants to know who cooked all this food!"

"I did." Iggy said.

"Blindseer can cook? But Tobi thought that Iggy was blind!"

"He is, but like I said last night, it can be pretty easy to forget."

Satisfied with this answer we all sat down to eat the food that Iggy had cooked.

"I am sooo glad your back Iggy! I've had to put up with Omee and Kitta's poisoned food for the last year!"

"Poisoned?" Itachi asked.

"Oh my gosh you spoke!" I said before my sister's words sunk in. "Hey! Me and mom's cooking may suck but its not poisoned!"

"It might as well be..." I heard her mumble under her breath. I glared at her before finishing the last of my breakfast.

"Come on guys its time to go to school and I've got something to show you when we get there!" I said.

We all left to get ready for school. Well, all of us except Itachi that is. Poor Itachi, he must be feeling left out. Or not, I thought as I saw him go to a bunch of shelves holding books. I didn't have to worry about him finding any books that would reveal that the Flock is from a series of books. I had the first and second books in the MR series hidden in my room in a spot that I'm sure they don't even know about. I didn't have to worry about them finding out about them being a series because I read/watch the series online, and I have none of the anime/manga at the house.

Blindseer, Smokepaw, Dayyan, and Toma went to the roof where they would being flying to school. Iggy and Gazzy using their wings and Deidara and Tobi on one of Deidara's clay birds. We couldn't risk Hamad finding out about them, what with him riding with us to school and all.

I handed Panda a note when we got in the car that explained the situation with our visitors in code so only me, her, Hassan, and Calen could read the note. She started frowning not long after she started reading the note.

When we got to school we all (minus Gazzy) went to the Middle/High school area of the school. Calen went to the 6th grade hallway to look for her friends. The rest of us went to the field outside the small gym. There we were soon greeted by sixteen of my friends, well sixteen of my furry friends that is.

"That's a lot of cats." Deidara/Ben (school name) said.

"There's even more than last time!" Iggy/Ian exclaimed.

"Kitties!" Tobi/Eric shouted.

"Ian, you've already met some of my furry friends from last year. Ben, Eric this is Falcon, Leaf, Flame, Claw, Ginger, Pearl, Misty, Flower, and Azula. These are Comet and Rose, Patches's children." I said pointing to one of the cats when I said their name.

"This one," I said holding up an orange furred, black striped, brown eyed cat, "is Tiger."

I sat Tiger back down and pointed to a small black cat with a little bit of orange fur mixed in and blue eyes. "That's Leo, and this is his best friend Jasper." I said then pointing at a white and gray cat with bright yellow eyes.

"Hiya Kohi!" I said petting a light brown cat with light blue eyes who was rubbing against my leg.

"And this is Lily and Venus." I said first pointing to a cat with white, orange, and black long fluffy fur and yellow eyes. I then pointed to a Siamese with blue eyes.

"And last but not least, Yuki!" I said happily picking up a white cat with one black front paw and yellow eyes. Don't you just love how long it takes me to tell you how all my kitty friends look?

"I can't believe you have an army of cats here." Iggy said.

"Your right, I do have a kitty army! Anyway, I had been trying to train them to catch mice since you guys left."

"So now you can use these cats to catch that damn mouse that brought us here?" Deidara asked..

"Yup! General Falcon," I said, turning to said cat. "I want you all to be prepared to come back to my house by tomorrow. I also have a few things to get ready but by tomorrow you all need to be ready to catch Clarus, understand?" I told him, adding a meow's in place of some of the words. Falcon meowed and left to back to the other cats, spreading the word.

"Kitta can really talk to cats?" Tobi asked.

"Sorta, Star had actually taught me a bit before she left again."

After that we all walked off to class. I lingered behind a bit and gave Ginger a note. I told her the best I could in cat to bring it to Hassan. It was a note that would tell him about the ninjas' and bird-kid's return. I watched Ginger run off with the note and then ran to catch up to the rest of my visitors from other worlds.

I might as well go ahead and tell you who I have in my classes.

Hm, is there some rule that says I have to have them in almost all of my classes? Oh, well I don't mind that much. Me and Tobi headed off to AFL class, me once again with Mrs. Assaf. Will I ever get out of that class and move onto AFL IIII? That's when we reached the classroom. I found Zainab there and we talked for a bit.

We continued talking until it was time for class. Finally Zainab left for class, leaving me and Tobi waiting for Mrs. Assaf to open the damn door.
